Total budget (In local currency) and country of purchase:

3,000 CAD, preferably less

No

How would you prioritize form factor, build quality, performance, and battery life?

Performance, Build Quality, Battery, Form Factor

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

PhotoShop, Premiere Pro, StudioOne ( other audio production). It would be nice to be able to play some games on top but this is not important.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS doyou want?

Not really applicable, just a bonus if it could play the new Resident Evil 4.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

No

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

I went to BestBuy and asked for recommendations for a high-performance laptop that will last a long time. It is for work stuff, watching films in high quality, using audio production software, and maybe the occasional bit of gaming (this is not important, I barely ever play). Below are the three they recommended. Would these brands and models fit what I'm looking for?
